We are looking for a Parts Advisor to join our Parts Department at our Ford Bradford dealership. This is a fabulous opportunity to join a family run business in the AM top 50 and represent one of our fantastic manufacturer partners. We are looking for ambitious and driven individuals who are passionate about providing world-class customer service.

About the business: Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country.

We’ll expect you to work hard but in return we’ll offer you an industry leading package and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within and you will see this in every one of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to want to be the best and you won’t let anyone stop you.
